Saragosa 8000 or 10000?

Joshua Fifis:
I have a little more experience with overhead game reels and I'm pretty sure they are all rated with a full spool. Lucky for me both my game reels are way more than enough drag than I need.

David Lumanauw:
If you already got stella 8k-14k, just borrow the spool, put it in new saragasa 8k or 10k. The spacer shim may need adjustment.

No I don't already have a Stella. I probably wouldn't be asking about a Saragosa if I did. Also as mentioned before, it may not be a good idea to put the drag of a Stella spool onto a Saragosa body.

Mark Richie:
This has definitely gone off topic so to give my opinion, the best possible option would be a high speed 8k with the 10k spool but then you're starting to creep up to Twinpower pricing. Well not really but I think it's needless spending.

In my opinion the Saragosa ticks all the boxes for a cheaper big fish reel except for the gear ratios. you can look at a 10k biomaster which has a 5.6/1 ratio I believe but they don't seem to be as solidly built and cost around $100 more.

You may in fact be able to just go with the 8k Saragosa reel and spool and put some really nice pe line on it like varivas casting mp or YGK ultra castman in pe3 which rates at 48lb which you'd get well over 200m of line on the 8k spool. The only potential problem you could possibly come across with these thin but strong lines is that they can sometimes struggle with shock loads.

David Lumanauw:
New saragosa has big gear inside. The main shaft is also as thick as stella 8k. I've use new saragosa 8k with JM16k spool for gt fishing for some time without any problem.
